AAP EPDM Rubber Bellow, Table D, 10 in (250 mm)

This AAP EPDM rubber bellow is drilled to Table D. It is supplied in one size, 10" (250mm). A rubber bellow is a flexible joint moulded in a spherical shape from heat-resisting synthetic elastomer, with metal floating flanges. Installed in a piping system, it absorbs movement in three directions: axial (elongation and compression along the centre line), lateral (offset from the centre line) and angular (bending about the centre line).

The body is EPDM, rated -30 to +120 °C, with a nylon cord fabric lining and a hard steel wire frame. Applications: air, compressed air, water, sea water, hot water and weak acid.

Where this product is used

• Absorbing axial, lateral and angular pipe movement

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Match the flange drilling to the flanges on your pipework: this bellow is drilled to Table D (AS2129). EPDM is not suited to mineral oils, solvents or aromatic hydrocarbons, so choose an NBR bellow for those duties.
